personal jet pack? first the swiss army knife, now this …

Ya gotta hand it to the swiss for coming up with the coolest toys!

Yves Rossy was the test pilot on May 14, 2008, in a successful 6-minute flight near Lake Geneva, Switzerland ( not Lake Geneva, Wisconsin? dang … ) jumping at 7,500 feet with jet engines and a folded 8-foot pair of wings strapped to his back.

Rossy is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast. While research with jet packs dates back to World War II, his is the first contraption to also have wings.

So, can I get one of these on eBay, or what?
